In the whirlwind of Hollywood relationships and friendships, Matt Damon seems to be steering towards new horizons. Recent reports suggest that Damon has supposedly ditched his longtime friend Ben Affleck during his tumultuous divorce speculations with Jennifer Lopez.
Despite their decades-long friendship, Matt Damon reportedly ditched hanging out with Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez for his newfound companionship. Instead of being with Affleck, Damon is said to have found solace and enjoyment in the company of another couple – Emily Blunt and John Krasinski.
Matt Damon Allegedly Left Ben Affleck to Deal with His Divorce Rumors
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez have been making notorious headlines for their tumultuous relationship ever since they rekindled their romance from the early 2000s and tied the knot. Thereafter, Affleck and Lopez were scrutinized by fans and media at each step of their marriage, which sparked speculations regarding Lopez’s issues with Affleck’s ex-wife Jennifer Garner and his longtime friend Matt Damon, amid alleged divorce decisions.
Considering the ongoing speculations surrounding Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez, which is seemingly affecting their marriage and their work, Matt Damon allegedly decided to stay away from the couple. According to reports from sources via In Touch Weekly, although Damon considers Affleck his longtime pal, he and his wife have vowed not to get involved in the notorious couple’s ongoing divorce drama.
Thus, Matt Damon and his wife have started spending most of their time with another Hollywood couple, Emily Blunt and John Krasinski. Having no choice but to leave Ben Affleck alone to deal with Jennifer Lopez’s alleged divorce, sources noted that Damon and his wife decided to spend most of their fun time with Blunt and Krasinski. Calling Lopez a hard-to-deal-with person, insiders told the outlet how Damon and his wife find their new pals easygoing.
Matt Damon and Ben Affleck Maintains Friendship Despite All Odds
Matt Damon and his wife are increasingly spending more time with Emily Blunt and John Krasinski, forming a close bond with the couple. So much so that A Quite Place actors known for their talent and amicable personalities have apparently become Damon’s go-to companions in recent times. Although this shift in Damon’s social circle comes at a pivotal time amid Ben Affleck’s divorce speculations, insiders confirmed that nothing has changed between Affleck and Damon.
When it comes to couples’ time, there’s just a lot less drama for Matt and Lucy when they’re hanging out with Emily Blunt and John Krasinski than during the increasingly rare times that they get to sit down and hang out with Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez.
Just because of the way Jennifer conducts herself, even around her friends, she’s a very hard person to let your guard down around, whereas John and Emily are the definition of easygoing.
Stating that Emily Blunt and John Krasinski are a lot less trouble compared to Ben Affleck and his wife Jennifer Lopez, sources close to Matt Damon claimed that it’s easy for him and his wife to let their guards down around Blunt and Krasinski. Therefore, while the Batman star navigates the ups and downs of his relationship, Damon has been enjoying a fun time with his newfound companions.
Ben and Matt will always be friends and business partners, but when it comes to blowing off steam and just having a chilled-out time together, Matt can’t get enough of Emily and John.
They all have their own 10-plus years of friendship to back that up. Matt and Ben are planning to make another movie together in the near future and that’s taking up most of their time, but he’s under no obligation to be part of Ben’s personal pity party over whatever problems he’s having with Jennifer or his kids. Ben has to deal with that stuff himself, and that’s always been Matt and Lucy’s position, even during the best of times.
Therefore, despite Matt Damon’s new companionship with Emily Blunt and John Krasinski, he and Ben Affleck shall always remain friends. To solidify their point about Damon and Affleck’s friendship, sources even revealed the upcoming film that the duo is planning to work on. We hope their friendship only gets stronger with time.
